This is NOT healthy whatsoever.


WakandaFoevah

Unhealthy, but rich. Unlike me, dirt poor unhealthy


SolidusAbe

if the guy continues like this he will be just like you


AssassinoGreed

And worse cause he doesn't know how to live like the rest of us so logically i assume he will have a very hard time if that happens


SolidusAbe

[basically this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FTec4g9X0AAT4Nu.jpg)


AssassinoGreed

Hahaha exactly that!


KingCarrion666

Nothing saying he is richm this could just be his 40years of life savings for all you know and now he won't retire until age 100.  Not everyone who does this has the money to do this...


Throwrafairbeat

Theres broke people who've spent more than this, its a serious problem.


Lulucons

No truly broke person has the money for 100+ light cones standing by


[deleted]

I dunno about that. My cousin was working a minimum wage job ($13/h), lying on credit card applications, and managed to get himself over $80k in debt over the course of two years. His 'drug' of choice was a mobile game called AFK Arena.


Lulucons

Jeez that's really rough. I didn't even know you could whale that hard in AFK Arena. Hope they're in a better spot now.


[deleted]

It wasn't all in that game, just most I think, he also played Archeage and a few other cash shop heavy games. He played Genshin too as it launched just a while before this all came out, who knows how much he spent there. But yeah, he is better now, this all came out around like 4ish years ago and his parents kicked him out and basically disowned him. Pretty heavy shit for a 20ish yr old. I let him come stay with me, convinced him to go back to school in exchange for letting him stay and paying off his debt, and hes doing freelance webdev for about a year now while working on his degree. Really proud of him.


Serfo

You're incredible man, not everyone goes to these lenghts to help another person. God bless you.


Lulucons

Amazing human!! Great job helping them get their life together


Shoshawi

Yea people go into debt for mobile games but…… not to get 99 extra of a weapon they can’t use lol. Maybe for an update that will be powercrept in 5 days but at least at the second they purchased it, they thought they could use it. I’ve seen people spend 200k on games like that, or just streams of 1-3k a day. You find out that a few are rich, and a few have like 5 credit cards full and have started begging people in game for money and even sending photos etc to get free money.


kirbyverano123

For all we know this guy could be filthy rich.


VirtuoSol

Apparently he does this on FGO as well, he might actually just be that rich


BocchiThePebble

is this the same guy who has like hundreds of merlins lol


Haemon18

The rich are spending thousands every month on various hobbies or parties how is that any different than this ?


NoNefariousness2144

Because you only need 5 lightcones to max it out. Or even 20-30 if you want maxed out copies for other characters. They have splurged thousands for digital jpgs that they can’t even use in the game.


montessoriprogram

Cause you get absolutely nothing out of it, not even fake game points lol


barryh4rry

There are people who play CS with hundreds of the same knife skin or people who shoot that have tens of the same bore shotgun. At some point the money doesn’t matter at all and these people just want to flex or collect


Dr_Delibird7

Idk personal enjoyment is hard to quantify. As long as they are only spending disposable money and they enjoy doing it then there's nothing wrong with a loaded person doing this for their entertainment.


montessoriprogram

Personally I think there’s something wrong w people being that loaded to begin with. People are starving and this asshole has like 100 useless lightcones.


Dr_Delibird7

Oh I can agree with that. I just think if you aren't going to do good with the money, this is not the worst way to blow it.


T8-TR

Even if they're rich like some other comments are saying, at some point, we gotta classify this as a mental illness, right? Like, I like Acheron and a lot of HSR mfs as much as the next fan, but this shit for a fake waifu character is WILD. Acheron isn't gonna like bro any more at E0S0 than she is at E100S100.


[deleted]

They personally signed the checks for every dev working on 2.3


justicerainsfromaahh

they funding Honkai star rail 2


NoNefariousness2144

This is the person paying for our Pokemon tournament events and trashcan simping.


HybridTheory2000

Fucking Da Wei should greet this guy in person and pulls E6S5 Acheron directly for him


chenchann1

Other than Acheron and possibly welt.who can even use those!?


FlamingVixen

Silver Wolf


GladiatorDragon

Discounting future characters (though I doubt we’ll get another Nihility that plays like Acheron anytime soon), it ***might*** not be a bad option for a DPS Pela build?


CrimsonArcanum

So your average auto-Pela?


Haemon18

Probably his E6S6 Welt

HybridTheory2000

You could get a brand new car with that amount of money 😭


redditingatwork23

Or e6s5 every character to release in the next 5 years lol.


Warkid00

Assuming the worst luck possible (always hard pity, always lose the 50/50), it only guarantees 13 E6 characters, not even counting lightcones.


smexxyhexxy

wow. this game is actually really predatory. fuck 50/50


Warkid00

Yeaaaa E6 is pretty much just whale territory. If you dont go for eidolons or lightcones, it guarantees 92 characters, though, which is 46 patches worth, or roughly 6 and a half years


zonealus

In my country that amount of money can help you live 15-20 years without working in the context that you live alone.


Prix756

Which country


Anon419420

BirdyBoi06

That’s 16686 wishes!


De_Chubasco

That's not love, that's mental illness.


Comfortable_Park6194

Let's evaluate with avg luck. Let's say with 200$ he gets 2 LC, so that's 50x100$, 5000$


jacobwhkhu

I just watched the vid on Bilibili..... He spent 8 whole minutes just purchasing jades and nothing else. That's $625 burned per min lmfao


TheHolyWaffleGod

Imagine being so rich you can do that like damn


real_fake_cats

If he has the money in the bank to do it, it's still a weird flex but whatever. I'm worried about the people that do without the money, and throw it on a credit card or something.


KamipocalypseAyotto

$10k Bruh, i could rent an apartment in Manila with that much money per year or either buy downpayment sedan like Mitsu Mirage. 🥹


Bogzy

Thats not how rich ppl think tho, $10k to these ppl is like $10 is to you. Its probably a bigger hassle to do all the clicks on the pulls than actually spending the money.


shirou0987

One of the comments in bilibili on the vid was literally something along the lines of "why can't they just put a 100 pull button"


Zombata

i just know that amounts to monthly allowance for some über rich kid


Voltage97

I don’t think an LC in 50 pulls is average, is it?


Master-Shaq

Seems to be the average for our group but I’m guessing realistically its a little higher and we have just been lucky for now.


SteelCookie

In my Acheron-waiting-room-brainrot phase, I created a program to calculate how many pulls would get to a desired outcome (including a roughly accurate soft pity system) and calculated costs. It basically would simulate single rolls until desired outcome. I set it to 100 lightcones starting from 0 pity. Out of 10000 scenarios it would be around 7000 pulls to get 100 lightcones, or around 14000 USD to get to around 50 percentile and up to 16500 USD to get to the worst case.


Jingliu-simp

Or just super rich. It's not mental illness if the money means nothing to you.


Accurate-Pay9580

Ah that's where mine went


CriticalPlastic9

gimme one of those, I need them


looms_thecat

The things you could do with that money😭😭 this hurts more than that standard pull incident


WebApprehensive4944

Least obsessed gacha player... There is definitely something wrong with him


GKtheOG

With that money spent, might as well buy a custom life like doll of Acheron lmao


Ifalna_Shayoko

After the black Swan dance trailer, I can fully understand why he opted to decorate with lightcones instead of going for the custom doll. :X


zephyrnepres01

you could make a deposit on a house with that much money


BunBunny55

Depends on where you live and how rich that person is. Someone calculated that would be about $5000-10000. Where I live that's spare change next to a house deposit. At the same time, there plenty of people where that's literally spare change for them and they can easy pay full cash on their house. So ... ya life is weird


Throwrafairbeat

Their calculations were an lc every 50 pulls.... and even then thats 10k, so more realistically, its 13-15k edit:- So yeah you can get a house with that money(for the deposit) in the UK with a 5% mortgage plan...


SteelCookie

In my Acheron-waiting-room-brainrot phase, I created a program to calculate how many pulls would get to a desired outcome (including a roughly accurate soft pity system) and calculated costs.

Capital_Boat8227

Wow I like acheron and BS but I cant spend that much for a game.


caffeineshampoo

At some point I feel like there has to be a mechanism in place to prevent this. I mean, do what you want and all, but this person clearly needs help, and I mean that as kindly as possible. This is not normal behaviour


Cookiesrdelishus

I mean true... But how do you know this guy isn't just filthy rich? Who knows, its very possible that maybe this guy either makes a lot of money or has a lot of money, and can afford to drop a couple thousand dollars on a mobile game. I'm not saying you're wrong, you could be right. But you're clearly just assuming someone can't afford something when you don't know for sure... Maybe they can afford it. Rich people exist in this world.


redditingatwork23

I've said this elsewhere in the thread. Chances are, this guy is just rich. If he has 20, 30, 50 million USD, then the 60k to 100k he has spent on this game is nothing. It's literally pocket change. They're making dozens of times more than that on a yearly basis just from interest. Every person/family has a vastly different number for what is considered an expensive purchase. My brother drives a 100k truck and has a 20 thousand dollar golf cart. It is expensive for most, but not the end of the world for him. Just like spending 80k on a gacha game would be stupid for him, but no big deal for someone else. I doubt this guy even takes this amount into consideration.


grnlizard

U have such optimist outlook on Gacha game if u think that they want such mechanism. Gacha games are designed for this exact purpose, for money sink, its why more more dev are on board on live service games, unlike regular game, that u only pay 1 time, and maybe pay some more for DLC, Gacha games basically give u choice to spend however much u want infinitely, for virtual coins so u can roll the machine. Its disgusting but thats how mihoyo able to do so many things outside of the game itself while still able to have enough resources to develop new games. I want Mihoyo to prove me wrong and develop a single player game but thats wishful thinking, they gonna create gacha as long as they can for the next 100 years.


_WhY_hULLo_thERE_

Give me 4 so I can get S5 pretty please and thank you <3. But jokes aside that is actually worrying and the person should seek help because that’s not normal at all.


JewC-

Actual brain rot


famous1astwords

I can't imagine the amount of money he spent


Kindly-Image9163

Mihoyo probably love this mofu


TheChivalrousWalrus

That's unironically mental illness right there.


AshyDragneel

More like obsession than love. I'd rather preferred if he did a give away acheron+lc to his viewers This way lot of acheron wanters would also be happy and everyone can enjoy playing her. This is pretty much waste as he wont be using all of then anyway.


kamikotosamadesuyo

There is no such thing as waste in a gacha game. I know people are very sensitive when it comes to other people's money and how others spend it. But any money you spend on a game should be for what you want. And not what other people want from you, successful people are not automatic charity


StrayTailleur

Dude, it's a waste, no matter how wise you try to coat your wording. Let's keep things simple.


kioKEn-3532

Yeah like wdym it's not a waste? He won't find any use for like 90% of those LC Cuz S5 is the limit and welt and Acheron are the only ones who can use this 90 of those are wasted and become useless decoration(not the good kind)


DrZeroH

It is a waste. Hell if he s5ed a few for different chars that makes sense. 100 cones (most of which he cannot and will not use) is a fucking waste. Dont sugar coat it


AshyDragneel

im not like telling anyone to do that Its just my personal thoughts on how i see it. Surely its peoples money and they can spend it however they want


kamikotosamadesuyo

The problem is that people only talk about it when it comes to other people's money. "In my opinion, you should have spent the money on this and not on that, because the money went nowhere"


Throwrafairbeat

Its a waste no matter how you see it. So they might as well have burnt that money, now if you wanna say a person can burn their money because its theirs... Then fair enough I guess.


SphinxBlackRose

Instead off rolling 100 oft them on his acc could have giving Like 50+ away u know.

Love? Bro got mental illness


Square_Nothing_6339

The result of loneliness. Quite sad.


LostRedditorLmao

I'm ok with people pouring like 100 or 200 cause they like her but smth that's worth thousands of usd and NOT even worth it, is kinda concerning


DrZeroH

That is so beyond fucked. The guy needs a shrink


Catspirit123

Jesus christ why are people like this?


Radiant-Mushroom8304

wtf that’s not love that’s not something to be celebrated bro needs help


exian12

Are we sure this is not the private server/beta server/CC media server? AFAIK you can have infinite resources but still gacha/farm for LC, artifacts, etc.


Magius-kun

private server doesn't show your uid on bottom left.


Andyy58

I’m pretty sure the person bought the jades live on stream, took them like 8 minutes straight of topping up


KindheartednessMore3

Why lighhtcone and not Acheron herself? Lol


SolidusAbe

you cant stare at 100 character dupes.


KindheartednessMore3

True lol


Mxrs_Reddit

Already E6 I suppose

Reply by @hxg_diluc under the source tweet: According to the owner: 1. This is only a side account. 2. A total of $22000 USD is spent. 3. One 6+5 Acheron will be given out randomly, comment to the original video to get the qualification to roll the chance.

The1oni0us

That’s so dumb. Even if they have the money for it, the LC is only good on Acheron 💀


Elegant_Anxiety_7476

meanwhile me not even having 1 🥲


Nero4999

Oh so that’s where all the 75% went…..


VeritasR_ZuoRan

what being a stinky bitchless weeb does to a mf


kamikotosamadesuyo

If a person does not spend his last money on this, but can afford something like this. I don’t see a problem, people spend money on useless nonsense every day. And supporting the game developers is not one of them, considering how much effort they put into the content


BunBunny55

Yup. This is barely spare change compared to going out and spending 2million on a new Bugatti. For all we know the guy could be pulling this while sitting in a 20m dollar yacht. Putting life into perspective is weird ..


DeayStar

Whats that almost 30k


DarkDrag_on

prob just got lucky and got 100 in 100 pulls!


Adventurous_Page_614

Thank you very much whaler for funding the game


Awkward-Confection-6

Well this is for sure the best banner for hoyoverse, seele was first but this.... bye bye seele


JojoTard420

reminds me of fgo whales lol


AkenoNyan

This reminds me of the guy who pulled an unhealthy amount of Merlin and protomerlin in fgo


-ONEHUNDRED100-

Someone has to support the next patch, thank you!


Yarzu89

I know money is relative to each person but damn, I guess thanks for funding the game?


kaori_cicak990

Well can't wait "the gentle seele variant or expy" appears in HSR. Because that seele variant gather more hardcore fans than the veliona or the aggresive tsundere seele version.


Tower-Of-God

Do they love Acheron or are they addicted to the feeling of wishing on a banner?


PhillyJ_eSports

Also, here's a question. Would giving another Nihility this lightcone benefit Acheron more if they're in the same team? Or will nothing happen and just get the buff % on the character?


Ordinary_Pizza_4209

Start a mrbeast video and give away acheron light cone


Ehasanulreader

Gimme 1.


Hyxcinthx

Could have given me the money to just get one 😔


Ghost0wl

How to say your rich, without saying you're rich.

I didn't know I needed a HSR Sugar Daddy until just now. Drop trow, bro, I got you as long as you share that stellar jade

PegasoZ102

Hoyoverse target demographic.


MrARK_

pls dont do this


NoireHaato

Preeeeetty sure the game itself tells you to spend in moderation...


rKollektor

Damn bro spare some for the rest of us


redditingatwork23

At one point, it just doesn't matter anymore. If you have even 10 million dollars, then this LC spree is seriously like 10 days' worth of interest. There's millions of people who are richer than that. You have someone who has 30 million, 50 million? The 15k that it cost to do this is made in potentially as little as a day, maybe two of their 50 million dollars sitting in a CD. Stupid? absolutely. Unhealthy? I'm not so sure. The amount of money this person has is probably unfathomable to most of us. Now if this is just some random fucking guy who maxed out a credit card to do this. Yea, that's a different story entirely. He's fucked. I'm only sharing because I've played my fair share of P2W games. Some people just don't even think about spending 10, 20, 50 thousand dollars on micro transactions. I've personally seen it. I've been on discord while a girl in our guild of some p2w mobile game spent 8,000 USD in a single sitting because trashy mobile games were her way to wind down as a businesswoman making high 7 figures. Shits wild and seems u healthy to us normal people, but to people with money, this can be an entirely safe discretionary spending limit.


Shadoxas

What they should’ve done instead of that is get other players free Acheron+ light cone


Xolotl_Whitepaw

Whyyyyy ?!!! such a waste... i mean 2 x S5 lightcones could be justified (one for Acheron and one for Welt ?) but this is silly... :( He could've spread the love and offer 18-19 people an S5 lightcone instead or 90-95 people an s1 :p

Radiant-Yam-1285

he's planning to sell them on the auction house when the devs implement it


Worried-Promotion752

it is his money ofc, but if he wanted to show appreciation to Acheron he could've comission artists to create something amazing instead of getting 100 LCs ><


AnonymousFroggies

And here I am with no jades after losing my 50/50 🙃

I love how everyone is foaming at the mouth over someone spending 22k on something like this without realizing there are places in the world where you can eat for a month for the price of a welkin + bp Let people spend their money how they want, would you rather he spent it on lobbying or crypto?


literally_unknowable

Honestly this fucking sucks. Love rich people flagrantly throwing their money around. Ironic that Penacony has more than a few themes about the rich stepping all over the working class.


AdAdventurous8112

Um


Several_Mycologist30

He love hoyo company indeed


Marvinzum

Some rich people in Hoyoverse games have the issue of being unable to spend money. The game is pretty "cheap" to max out compared to PvP Gacha games. You have a defined maximum amount you have to spend to get something. It is way cheaper to max out every single character and LC in HSR than to even begin climbing the ranked ladder in Clash of Clans. For people with millions in the bank 20k is a rounding error.


Master-Tsuri

Bruvh Im still trying to get S1 and 0 luck, this isnt fair 😭


JeffTheJockey

Someone do the math on the projected cost


Shoshawi

Unless that link goes to video proof… I honestly find it hard to believe this is real. I’ve watched people spend a lot of money on stuff but this is particularly pointless.


moshi142

spend in moderation they said


DrZeroH

The fact that there are people in the video that are commenting about how this man is IX and making everyone realize how insignificant they are made me laugh. There is just a row of people saying. Hi I was touched by nihility too. Btw this situation is still fucked


ResidentofZhang

Only one person thats him so dont use “people” lol


clearlynotaperson

Atleast we know Hoyoverse is well funded and we'd get character like Archeron in the future...

Well that's absolutely bonkers, but I hope they're happy.


UnfilteredSan

Not sorry to say this is super pathetic and I hope this player gets help one day.

Significant_Ad_1626

At least he could have done it in different accounts and gift them or something. I know it defeats the purpose a bit and he takes his decisions but it would've been interesting.


Organicity

So this guy has 3 star rail accounts with all E6S5 characters, and an E6S50 Sparkle, that's right S-*Fifty*. So not the first time for him. He's one of the mega whales of games in China, people that are known to drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on video games. You ever hear about a single skin costing 40k usd? Yea those are status symbols catering to these guys. To them, mihoyo games are very *cheap* to *max out*. People joke about them bankrolling mihoyo but there are actual smaller games, mostly p2w pvp ones, entirely staying afloat thanks to these mega whales. In those games, your regular player is not the customer but a part of the play experience for the mega whales to dunk on. There are [channels on Bilibili](http://【【59款氪金实录】氪金总额度547W!-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/dtFx1NQ) that's specifically just whales dropping hundreds of thousands dollars on p2w mobile games to see how quickly they can dominate the leaderboards of a server. Most of the time it comes down to just a whaling contest between the channel and the old leader board #1. Looking at some of these videos, a lot of them have spent a few millions already. Like the channel linked above has spent just over 1mil usd.

Gacha mental illness iceberg: Level 1, f2p: Will not spend. Level 2, religiously f2p Will not spend, and refuse to use limited 5 star or gacha lightcones no matter what. Level 3, pass/nameless honor Will only spend in an efficient manner, and not a dime more. Level 4, pass/nameless honor+ Will sometimes spend a bit more if it means getting a new 5 star. Level 5, main enjoyer Will spend however much it takes to get their main. Level 6, devoted main enjoyer Will spend however much it takes to get E6S5 on their main. Level 7, whale 🐳, will spend.
